invert_brid said: Kinda overrated much. well still a gud movie 8/10 (was 7 but superb art bumped it to 8). Warm beginning and funny moment of switching bodies, then kinda fail to make any sense at the beginning of 2nd half. The rest of story not bad (though many2 plot holes), climax is quite ok, ending kinda lacking impact for me. Dunno why it can be #1 top grossing anime moive and ranked 1 on MAL, but well gud for Shinkai. Overall i still think many ghibli movies are better than this. Give that man a medal. I think the hype is too much for this anime. I've seen better love stories and more emotional animes, and calling this "best anime" is mostly fanboyism. Still 8/10 |
| Wow! This is a very refreshing take on the supernatural genre. The story didn't really grab my attention at first but as the movie went on I started to like it. I will rewatch this later to understand it better because I felt there are important points that I missed or misunderstand. The art is nice and not generic. The animation, however, is top notch, I haven't seen stunning and fluid movements in a while so I was surprised. The soundtrack is fitting for the movie. It wasn't distracting and I personally like them although not enough to be a part of my favorites. 9/10 For now I really enjoyed the show. I didn't skip a second watching this and will rewatch in the future to understand it better. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Watched the other day in the cinema. I was really worried about it (I'm always worried when I watch a Shinkai's movie), and it almost went full 5cm per second at the end, but it didn't. And I'm really glad it didn't. For now I think this is my favourite Shinkai's movie, it had some problem about explanations and plot holes, but it made me forget about questioning it until it was over: instead it kept me interested in the characters and in what they were doing, and since they were the focus I think that's important to judge it. There were a lot of good moments and some really great moments, the scene when they're looking for each other and the background keeps changing from one to two lakes was amazing and probably one of my favourites. I don't want to talk too much about it so I'll end it here, but I feel like some people missed important parts of the movie. It probably is because it's still not in theaters world-wide (for example, I think in the US is planned for this April?), so there may be some low quality versions with inaccurate subtitles or something? I don't know, and I'm not saying that against anyone, it'ìs just that I read this whole thread and I saw some frequently asked questions about moments/motivations/explanations that I found clearly stated in the movie when I watched it. |

| One of the best movies I have seen in the last years! It is so beautiful, I love how they start to like each other while changing bodies and how they do everything to help each other...and more important, I am glad it have a good end! 10/10 |
 |
| oh my lord. saw this on the plane to tokyo(OH YEAH im in tokyo too the 23 April :3 Wish me lucky xD) And what can i say .. it was incredible for sure and really the best movie i seen and diffidently the best movie by this director!! and this was an emotion train. the lady i sat next to me asked me what is wrong i was in tears.. (damn a 20 year old muscle man or what ever sits and cry over a movie Anime!!) ;-; it was beautiful beyond words! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| And finally a better version of the movie was released and I watched it! Waited for so long time and after watching the movie I would say it was worth it! EVERYTHING in the movie is just so brilliant! The story itself is mindblowing, completely original. The music was awesome! Each and every scene was made with so much care. Taki and Mitsuha!! I am so glad they actually talked in the end! |
 |
| I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't get that invested in the two main characters during the first half of the movie. At first it was just some cute and funny slice-of-life stuff. But once we hit the home stretch towards the climax, I was really rooting for them to meet up with each other. Near the end I was afraid it was going to end up like 5 Centimeters Per Second, but I'm glad Taki and Mitsuha were able to finally reunite after so many years. Really heartwarming stuff that hits you right in the feels. Great movie overall, and I highly recommend it! :) 9/10 |

| This movie was fucking amazing, the writing, the art, the sound, I WISH I COULD FORGET AND WATCH IT A HUNDRED TIMES. |
 |
| I didn't think it'd love up to my expectations...but holy shit by the end of it I was screaming at the screen. Haven't felt this many emotions for an anime ever since I watched white Album 2...what an incredible film |
 |
| Is there a 1080p subbed version yet? I heard the Dvd was released. |
 .. |
| Well, after a lot of time(and hype) i finally saw it. It was, without any doubts, a great movie, and it was exactly what i was expecting, the two mains are great and funny, with good personality, the story is good and every emotional scene was a punch in my kokoro. And even knowing the ending was supposed to be happy, i doubted about it every second near the end. I was gonna give it a 10/10, but my hand slipped in the 9, i will(probably) watch it again near the end for the year to(probably) give it a 10. |
| Good movie, not deserving of #1 spot tho.. Spirited Away is a thousand times better than Kimi no na wa. |

johnyjohny said: Is there a 1080p subbed version yet? I heard the Dvd was released. ANN says October for a UK release date so I'd assume something close to that for NA. Funi is doing a cinema release for NA in April. So it's going to be a long wait for a BD. I've personally don't ever recall a gap between theater and home video this long. But, this stayed in theaters (and may still be over there) for a very extended period of time which delayed everything. |

| I am honestly confused on some points: Why did the comet not cause more damage? Comets move much faster than asteroids, and assuming it is similar to Shoemaker (which was referenced in the movie), it would have caused catastrophic environmental damage. Why did boy forget girl's name on the mountain top? Should have not retained it given that he still would have learned it from his research of the accident? Why was girl able to remember boy's name on the train, but no where else? Why was boy able to remember the scenery of the town but not the name? Why did the ribbon transfer over physically on the mountaintop? Why did boy not remember the girl who gave him the bracelet if he still decided to wear it? Why did they decided to communicate by body messages rather than by phone or the internet first? How did neither of them come to understand they were in different timelines? I'm probably forgetting some, as this is all off the top of my head after finishing the film. I'm also willing to bet a few of these were answered in the film, and i'm too big of a retard to catch it. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| Was it worth to wait for this movie? Absolutly! Loved the movie and even made me tear up a few times. Art was breathtaking, soundtrack good and overall it was amezing. 10/10 |
| Those 19 ppl who hated it dont know what a good film is.... |

In your view...fair enough.i respect it...but that dosent make it true in any way... |
|
| Good movie. Honestly I feel something's lacking. It feels like there's a gap on my heart after I watched the whole movie. Sadly they don't remember each other but at least they can start anew. |
 |
| That's why she had the iphone 5 and he had the iphone 6s. That was genius, I figured a girl living in a small town in japan would naturally not be up to date with the current tech. But still, to not notice from other clues what year it was. I would have noticed for sure. Anyways great movie. 9/10 |
 |
| I'm thankful to be alive at a time when they still make great movies like this. What a time to be alive. Been years since I watched a solid 10. Art, Story, Music... Thank you Makoto for this amazing ride. The quote from "Bokura ga Ita" fits this movie perfectly: "Ever since I met you, I feel like I've lived to meet you". P.s. The way this movie was directed makes me wanna re-watch it for those moments that make more sense after the end. Didn't expect this much out of this movie, it started out as a slow ride, but like avalanche it grew faster and faster until it crushed my expectations :) |

FreshTango said: For those who said the movie had a bad story, could you give explanations as to why? I respect your opinions but just want to know the reasons behind your criticisms. It will probably help me make a more accurate analysis as well when I watch it the second time given I know what to look out for. I gave the movie a 4/5. I liked it enough, but I just don't get the level of hype. The plot holes didn't bother me too much, but they were pretty obvious. For starters, if they're both living in the modern era with each others phone numbers, why did they never call or skype each other? Maybe I'll have to watch it again, but I just didn't feel that wow factor |
| Very good movie but personally it didn't live up to the hype I've been hearing about. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous and and the entire runtime is a feast for the eyes. The story sounds good on paper but the execution was lacking impact. It made me very curious to find out what was the mystery connection between the two characters but the second-half of the film did not tug on my heartstrings or come close to making me cry. 8/10, a very pretty and interesting film. |

Instead they rely on text messaging, which didn't work since they live in a different timeline. There's a lot of perspectives in this movie that are exclusively common among the Japanese or to Japan. So, if you know any Japanese friend, consult them. |

So, if you know any Japanese friend, consult them. I admit I have never been to japan nor personally know anyone from Japan, but I find it hard to believe they would not contact each other in such an extraordinary circumstance. If someone had full control of my body and life a significant amount of time, I would want to know absolutely everything about them and get to the bottom of it. Cultural differences aside, I would be shocked if any human would not do the same. The fact that they never considered even exchanging last names in this case over several weeks is not realistic. Social media is still huge in Japan, and Facebook, instagram, and twitter all exist. I know they couldn't have actually called or visited each other due to the time gap, but they did not know this so they could have attempted anyway. Overall I liked the movie, but I had to suspend my disbelief a lot. It didn't ruin the fun for me but I see where some people are coming from |

2-2Distracted said: Smpavement said: Lmao true I didn't think of that. Definitely just a "don't think too hard and prepare to smile" kind of movie Way too true, This one of the most "don't think about it all, just feel it" movies to hit, and it somehow made it to number one on this site. I think everyone here just loves a romance. I thought Howl's Moving Castle wasn't amazing either but it's like everyone's favorite Miyazaki movie |
| Absolutely phenomenal. Truly a fitting conclusion, such a wonderful film. Ahh it really did live up to the hype. The body switching thing was never properly explained, but that's something that could never really be explained. Point is, I'm glad that Mitsuha survived <3 ah I don't know what to say. It was quite the experience! Music and art were outstanding, they way the mystery slowly unravelled was quite satisfying. 9.7/10 (rounds up to 10) |

I don't understand that why some people hated or dislike Kimi no Na Wa (Your Name)? This situation is too crazy and joke. Actually, I really cried 3 times. I most together cried is 3rd cried when Taki and Mizuha tried to together their name after talking and meeting in the Tokyo train. The 2 protagonists switched their body in Japan whose are lost romance but the ending is miracle and surprised. I think Your Name is most people liked in MyAnimeList which is make current people ranked 1 and rated 9.34/10 Scores. I rated Your Name 11 out of 10 scores (Super masterpiece) which is make me touching, surprised and amazing 2016 anime movie. |
